Absolutely.

Liberal

Doug Eyolfson Liberal Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia—Headingley, MB

That's one amendment. In the two amendments there are parts that are very different. We need to vote on it.

10:45 a.m.

Conservative

Colin Carrie Conservative Oshawa, ON

I put the amendment forward originally and, Mr. Chair, unfortunately we are overdue. I have another—

10:50 a.m.

Conservative

The Vice-Chair Conservative Len Webber

We'll vote on the amendment and the three changes in the amendments, the “supervised consumption sites”, and the addition of it being reported back to the committee, and third, that—

The last line would read, “that strengthens consultations with communities who will be affected”.

10:50 a.m.

Conservative

The Vice-Chair Conservative Len Webber

We're going to vote on that amendment to the motion.

(Amendment negatived)

Mr. McKinnon.

10:50 a.m.

Liberal

Ron McKinnon Liberal Coquitlam—Port Coquitlam, BC

I'd like to move an amendment that “safe injection sites” be changed to “supervised consumption sites”.

10:50 a.m.

Conservative

The Vice-Chair Conservative Len Webber

All right, we will vote on that amendment to the motion.

(Amendment agreed to)

That change will be made.

Mr. Davies.

10:50 a.m.

NDP

Don Davies NDP Vancouver Kingsway, BC

I would like to move that we add the words,“and that the Minister be obligated to report back to the Committee on the result of her review”.

10:50 a.m.

Conservative

The Vice-Chair Conservative Len Webber

Okay, is there any discussion on that?

10:50 a.m.

NDP

Don Davies NDP Vancouver Kingsway, BC

By the way, I don't mean her personally. I just mean that we get that from the minister's office.

10:50 a.m.

Conservative

The Vice-Chair Conservative Len Webber

All right, then I guess we're prepared to vote on your amendment to the motion.

(Amendment agreed to)

(Motion as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

All right, the motion put forward by Ms. Sidhu as amended is passed. Thank you.

We don't have time to go in camera now, but we will have to find a time to discuss our future meetings.

Actually, we have a list of presenters here prepared for our next meeting. We will invite them to be here, and at that time we will discuss our future meetings down the road.

10:50 a.m.

NDP

Don Davies NDP Vancouver Kingsway, BC

Perhaps, Mr. Chair, we've been circulating a list among the members of the subcommittee on agenda and priorities, and we could continue the discussion of that at that level as well.

10:50 a.m.

Conservative

The Vice-Chair Conservative Len Webber

Fantastic.

Mr. McKinnon.

10:50 a.m.

Liberal

Ron McKinnon Liberal Coquitlam—Port Coquitlam, BC

At some point, I wanted to suggest a couple of witnesses for you. I can do that off-line if you prefer.

10:50 a.m.

Conservative

The Vice-Chair Conservative Len Webber

Certainly, if you can just bring that to the clerk we'll put it on the list. Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
